Crossword Genius

Wrested apart and scattered (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strewed

'scattered' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'wrested apart' is the wordplay.
'apart' indicates an anagram (the word is broken apart).
'wrested' is an anagram of 'STREWED'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for strewed that I've seen before include "Spread" , "Scattered" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Globe and Mail.
